<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Dear all,</p>
<p>I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad T420 and Windows 7 prof. x64 as my main workstation. Yesterday I did a reinstallation of Windows 7 (ISO image from MSDNAA and not the Lenovo DVD). After the OS and all drivers (using Lenovo System Update) were installed, I had a look at the device manager and recognized the "Intel management engine interface". Since I don't need this function I researched how this device can be disabled. First I had a look in the System BIOS which stated that AMT is disabled:</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/e4/97/AMT_BIOS_disabled.jpg"><img height="299" width="800" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/e4/97/AMT_BIOS_disabled.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So I went back to Windows and had a look in the device manger. The device was still there. I decided to use the "Management and Security Status" Tool which stated, that AMT is active ("Aktiviert" in german):</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c0/8b/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_activated_small.png"><img height="242" width="570" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c0/8b/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_activated_small.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>...but that the connections are disconnected ("Verbindung getrennt"):</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/b2/e8/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_activated_2.png"><img height="436" width="570" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/b2/e8/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_activated_2.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>I did some further googling which led me to the conclusion, that I have to use the "Management Enging BIOS Extension" (MEBx) to disable AMT. I went back to BIOS, reenabled AMT (otherwise you can't enter MEBx), pressed Ctrl+P on restart and used MEBx to disable AMT:</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/6c/a3/AMT_MEBx_disabled.jpg"><img height="340" width="773" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/6c/a3/AMT_MEBx_disabled.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>After exiting MEBx and restarting Windows 7 "Management and Security Status" said, that AMT is disabled ("Deaktiviert"):</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c4/7e/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_deactivated_small.png"><img height="244" width="570" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c4/7e/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_deactivated_small.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>...and also the details looked different ("Informationen nicht verfügbar" -&gt; information not available)</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/46/15/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_deactivated_2.png"><img height="438" width="570" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/46/15/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_deactivated_2.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>I thought that I've finally got rid of AMT, restarted the ThinkPad, entered BIOS and set "Intel AMT Control" back to "disabled". While restarting, the BIOS prompted "Intel ME unconfiguration in progress..."</p>
<p>BUT then this flashed up and stated that AMT is "enabled" (I had to take a movie, sorry for bad quality):</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/2f/81/flashed_message.png"><img height="67" width="344" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/2f/81/flashed_message.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And when Windows 7 was started this happend...</p>
<p><a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/46/11/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_activated__taskbar.png"><img height="135" width="603" class="media-element file-default" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/46/11/Intel_Managment_and_Security_Status_AMT_activated__taskbar.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>...also the "Management and Security Status" states, that AMT is ACTIVATED</p>
<p>So my question is:</p>
<p>Is it necessary that the BIOS Option "Intel AMT Control" stays "Enabled" to get rid of AMT? Sound strange to me!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot,</p>
<p>Simon</p>

<p> "As described in section 3.2.1, the hardware is designed to function across a range of process voltage and<br />

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>I'm trying to setup ATM/KVM on a brand new PC build:</p>
<p>ASUS Q87M with i7-4785T (vPro enabled) with AMT enabled in BIOS (AMT v9.0). No PCI graphics card. I downloaded the latest IntelSCS today (v10.0).</p>
<p>At first ACUWizard allowed me to configure AMT and reported no errors, and subsequently running ACUWizard to view the systemstatus showed AMT as "configured".</p>
<p>But a few hours (and reboots) later I tried to connect VNCViewerPlus running on a PC in the same lab (connected to same LAN via Ethernet). VNC correctly identifies the hostname based on the IP address I entered, but then reports that it failed to connect (12007).</p>
<p>Trying to diagnose this I ran ACUWizard again but now I'm always getting the error msg "Call to function failed with return code" - without an error code number, whenever I click on "Configure/Unconfigure this System".</p>
<p>I haven't found any similar error reports on this forum or when googling, but I've attached the XML output of SCSDiscovery.exe (but had to rename it to .txt extension as .xml isn't allowed) - as far as I can see all KVM features are enabled and AMT is configured, so I don't see anything obvious there.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Davorin</p>
<p>PS: I should mention that after initially configuring AMT with ACUWizard I temporarily disabled AMT in the BIOS, booted into Windows and then re-enabled it in the BIOS. If this somehow corrupted my AMT configuration then how can I start over?</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Posting on behalf of one of my customers.</p>
<p>We have a PCIE card with 4 indemendent Broadwell-U processor complexes. Since we don't have a physical serial console connected to the Broadwell-U processors, so we relay on AMT to provide the serial console using the AMT SOL feature.</p>
<p> AMT is provisioned directly on each Broadwell-U via a utility that uses the AMT SDK. It follows the procedures indicated in the AMT SDK for EHBC, configuring each Broadwell-U to AdminControl Mode. AMT SOL and VNC are enabled as well.</p>
<p> We used a Linux utility "amtterm" to connect to the Boadwell-U AMT SOL console. Once connected to the console, we can reboot the cards and access the BIOS screens.</p>
<p> We have noticed that after several hundred power cycles of the system, the "amtterm" utility no longer stays connected to the broadwell-U AMT SOL console after a reboot. By this I mean, that if I am connected to the Broadwell-U AMT SOL console, at the Linux OS prompt on a Broadwell-U, I enter reboot, and the SOL console disconnects. Before, the power cycles, it would stay connected after a reboot.</p>
<p> Trying to debug the scenario described above, my first thought was to unprovision AMT and reprovison it. The same utility used to provision AMT allowes me to unprovision AMT successfully, but when attempting to re-provison AMT, it fails in the call to <a href="///home/glealisla/src/AMT/10.0/DOCS/Implementation%20and%20Reference%20Guide/HT%20MLDocuments/WS-Management_Class_Reference/IPS_HostBasedSetupService.htm" rel="nofollow">IPS_Host BasedSetupService.AdminSetup</a>, with a return code of 6 (FLASH_WRITE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED).</p>
<p> We need to understand why this occurs and what we can do to avoid this issue.</p>
<p>Regards,<br />
